Remember when the pussy bow blouse was a hot, hot trend? Everyone was rocking dainty, silky blouses with big neck bows on them for a couple of seasons. But like any trend, things evolve. Neck bows have become less feminine and smaller. Enter: the black neck bow.

It’s as simple as a black neck tie or ribbon, tied casually around the neck. It pops most on white blouses and often you can find them built into silk shirts. If not, it would be a super simple DIY project. We’ve been spying these in all of our favorite fast fashion shops and can’t wait to get our hands on one to wear with some leather leggings.
